Stuck In Snow!!!!!

[paynt3r]

Been driving in Idaho 16 years and never owned a set of snow tires. Not to mention, I have never been in a wreck due to slick roads. (knock on wood). I run the Toyo tires, and on days that it is slick I still pass the stupid farts that are doin 35 mph in the 65 mph zones.

As far as studs go, they are great on the front, but if you put them on the back it makes it hard to power slide arround corners in the snow. And most all the local tire shops will only put studs on all fours. They won't put them on just the front .

that's because they intend for the studs to be used for safe driving, not "power sliding" around corners. i can only power slide on my skateboard.

like Portugalfocus said, it's not about profile it's about width. skinny tires will dig into the snow, wide tires will float over it. by measure of the tires on most cars, 205 is a pretty skinny tire even though they look really wide on our cars. but tread does have a lot to do with it. i have Firestone Firehawks which are a pretty agressive tire. the old 185s i took off my car were some old worn down goodyears. In my case, the 205s are the better tire, and i can tell when i drive in snow, even though the 205s have less sidewall.

Firestone Firehawk tires are very good...... I like them.. .a decent set of tires for the price.....

I just got 205/50/15's for my Focus. Bridgestone Potenzas 750RE's..... Here comes spring!!

Snow is fun.. THe better the tire the better the fun.. I play in the snow all the time here in Alberta.. And a good pair of snowys do the trick.. E-brakin and rockfords are a blast.
